Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you must attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
